I have mixed feelings about branching, I love to have different options, that way I can play through content how I want, I definitely prefer this to kinetic stuff in general. However, I'm not big on replaying games at all, I do it for a select few games, or games I really enjoyed that I haven't played in a long time. Other than that though, I don't bother replaying any because I would much rather be dedicating my time in life to playing new games or doing something else entirely, rather than play the same thing over and over.
This is just me though, I know there are people who love games with tons of replay value and will play the same game quite a few times in quick succession.

Yeah, I'm very picky so I really like games with replay value
After all there isn't a whole lot of these games I like.
I can't remember the names of them but there were some Japanese visual novels back in the day
With an insane amount of branching
I don't know how devs do it.
It's one of the reasons so many games are abandoned I think.
Well that & not making enough money to sustain the project.
I think the way NeonGhosts is handling the branching here is really good.

Fortunately, the LIs and scenarios in this one are good enough to make it enjoyable.

Well, knowing some routes are not going to end well lol...and knowing on the dark path there will be a harem of sorts...I have a single route for all Li romances...a couple of potential throuple routes...a single Ashe humiliation route (my fave) and then have done a variety of diff saves combing all the girls with similar paths (humiliation/exploitation/assault etc). I didn't feel the need for more. I did upload my spreadsheet once but can upload it again for anyone interetsed in the paths/saves I have.

I appreciate everyone's thoughts on the branching. I'm going to do what I can to keep it under control, but the story will continue to change in some interesting ways, based on the decisions you've made.
I also am trying to give opportunities to give players a few chances to find content, so it's not a one-and-done. Pepper's side job is a good example of this. You can discover it in v0.4, or in the new v0.55, for the first time. But, if you discover it in 0.4, you'll get extra options/scenes in 0.55.
Likewise, Ashe and Nicki reveal things to you on their love paths, that you won't know on other paths. Same as Pepper revealing stuff about Trevor when you're nice to her, versus when you're a dick. But, that doesn't mean you might not learn those things later, under different circumstances. But, we're eight installments in now, so I wanted to give players the chance to make choices towards advancing things with their preferred girls. If you're into Ashe over Nicki or vice versa, last chapter kind of allows you to start pushing things firmly in that direction, with this chapter showing the payoff from that.
As for the images -- ack, my bad! I order the images in chunks by story section, and the opening scenes were all A, B, C, and D -- so I just removed all the images from the folder, post-D. But, when I'm finishing up a chapter I always do 'pick-up (PU)' images, where I either forgot to add something, decided a scene needed another image, or wrote the scene later, and had to circle back to it. This scene was one of those, so when I removed all the PU(XYZ) images from the teaser, I accidentally deleted those too.
I'm attaching a compressed folder with the missing images inside. Just extract them and toss them into the images folder in your copy of the teaser, and you should be good to go.

Hey! The coding bug's been fixed, and will be corrected for the $5 release. It just causes you to miss a line of contextual dialogue, so you're not missing too much. But, I appreciate you reporting it.

Ack, I'm dumb --
You must be registered to see the links
. Of note, there will be a little visual gaffe with these. I had a continuity error where Guy got out of bed naked, even though he went to bed in clothes. So, that's fixed in these images, and in the current script. But, because I'm using one image from another scene of Guy and Ashe in the new script, but you have the old script, referring to an old image, he'll basically leave the room naked instead of wearing clothes. Just ignore it.

Maybe the mc should use his money to get surgery and get a horse sized penis
Then when all the girls are giving him a blowjob
They don't have to stop & take turns they can all have a taste at the same time.

Okay who are you, how did you break into Joshy92's account and what did you do to him?
Joshy should say something about the MC getting surgery to lengthen his arms so the MC can hug everyone at the same time or something like that
who are you?
Not at all, you're just very busy and should take a long deserved break and rest a bit

On release day I was so exhausted I went to bed in pajamas around 7 PM, and woke up wearing nothing but a t-shirt at 4 AM.
Felt like Winnie the Pooh.
